This flower is a very dark, rusty brownish red. Not trying to be gory, but
I would liken the color to dried blood. Not even a hint of magenta or purple
or violet in the standards and falls. I'll obviously need to get a better
look at the haft color and the beards on this iris before I can narrow down
the choices any further. I believe Sunday morning would be a good time to
inspect this iris. I feel kind of odd jumping up into a raised be in the
very front of the post office to measure and examine a flower while the
curious look at me as if I'm crazy. I guess I need to get over this shyness
if I want to be a true iris fancier. :)
